Studies in Computer-based Modelling and Digital Fabrication

ARST 233
Fall 2018
Section: 01  
Crosslisting: IDEA 233
Course Cluster: Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor, Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor

This course operates at the intersection of design and production, introducing students to digital tools critical to contemporary architecture and design. Throughout the semester, students will develop a series of projects that fluidly transition between design, representation, and fabrication with an emphasis on understanding how conceptual design interfaces with material properties. The course will offer a platform for students to research, experiment, and, ultimately, leverage the potential of digital tools toward a wide array of fields and disciplines. Students will be expected to utilize the Digital Design Studio's resources, including 3D printers, laser cutter, and 4-Axis CNC mill, as well a selection of fabrication equipment housed in the school's metal and wood shops to represent, model, and realize a series of design projects.
